Hot iPhone 5 - 8 years ago

I just fell asleep in my chair with my phone in my pocket, where it always lives. I woke up after about an hour and grabbed my phone and realized it was quite warm. I pushed the home button and nothing happened. I pushed the power button and got an icon that showed a battery and a power cord. I plugged it in and now I just get an empty battery icon. It had plenty of battery before I put it in my

Re: Quick release fastener for wood cabinet - 8 years ago

Use french cleats. Cut strips of wood at 45 degree angles and mount two strips on the wall and two on the back of the plywood. Put a finger hole in the top of the plywood panel and then just lift it off when you need access. No tools needed once you have it done.

Re: OT: Which glue to fix a Swiss Army knife handle ? (Plastic) - 8 years ago

I too carry a small Swiss Army knife. I can't find a replacement, and a little piece of the plastic on mine broke off. I repaired it with Gorilla glue and then sanded it down to the original shape. It has held in place for a couple of years. It is now the same matte pocket finish that the rest of it is. I use this knife daily.

iTunes Radio - 8 years ago

I've been listening to iTunes Radio for a while now, but for the first time tonight, I heard, "you're listening to iTunes Radio." Is this new, or have I just missed it before?

Re: Is there anybody, who, dissatisfied with the iOS7 calendar... - 9 years ago

I think there's a lot not to like about the iOS7 calendar. For one, the number/day selections seem to slide as if they had a mind of their own. Either too fast, or too sluggish. I don't like that the Alert section has been taken lower on the page so you have to scroll down to see it. It's easy to forget that you haven't done it. It just doesn't seem as easy to use. I thought the previous version

Re: Does Apple's New 'Spaceship' Campus bother you? - 9 years ago

I have been under the assumption that the form follows the function, and rather than being just a monument to the greatness that is Apple, it is also a practical building that will help Apple stay one of the number one tech companies in the world.

Re: Mouse in glue trap, now what, I am petrified - 9 years ago

Good lord! Kill the mouse before you dispose of it. The easiest way would be to put it in a bag and stomp it. I HATE glue traps just for this reason. Imagine this way of dying for yourself. What wold be worse? I'd rather be stomped without knowing it was coming.
